  • I have some scraps left over from some other projects, so I'm going to build a skinny for mountain bikes, but along the way I want to talk about some tips for building better kickers, ramps, and other trail features.

    All hardware stores are closed in Ireland & we were sent home from work for 2weeks yesterday & so I installed a reversing camera in a carpenters van in exchange for a sheet of plywood I’m going to make a ramp/kicker & learn how to jump & land properly

    Nice man! I think I remember you saying you use an old version of Sketch Up? I started using Fusion 360 which has a free license for personal use. It’s awesome. You can layout your design with parameters so if you want to change a length or angle then you update the parameter and it automatically adjusts everything. Anyway, I thought I’d pass that on. Stay safe!

    Thanks! I used your directions for building my manual machine! how do you cut a 45 degree angle with a hand held circular saw. I can only see the pencil mark for the first half of the cut.

    • @LunchRide
      @LunchRide  4 года назад

      You are right, it can be difficult. There is usually a notch at the front of the plate that the saw glides on. This lines up with the blade. If you line the notch and the blade up before you begin the cut you can then use just the notch as a guide during the cut and get a pretty good result. Also, it is not uncommon to lean way the hell over to get a look at the blade while cutting.

    • @pilotman520
      @pilotman520 4 года назад

      You can use your speed square as a guide. Just clamp it on so the blade is on the right spot and follow it right thru the cut.
